Re: Sims 4 crashing sometimes only when placing lots from the neighborhood view

Thanks for all the info, that's a perfect post 🙂

I doubt the graphics options you have would effect lot placement although having the Sims set to Very High will probably be a struggle for your Intel HD 4000, especially with CC if it is highly detailed. A quick way to test would be to trash the Options.ini file then load the game and try to place one of the lots in Del Sol Valley. This resets all your graphics options in-game, don't change them before trying to place a lot.

Thanks and regarding the Very High sims setting, the majority of the CAS CC is Maxis Match or the Poly count is within EA's limit. I don't use Alpha CC or anything too high because I have before and it caused crashes/lag. The extra RAM I have does help though 🙂

Earlier today I was able to place around 10+ lots with no problem even the same house from the gallery in Del Sol Valley that caused the first crash. I did a game repair and changed the lighting setting to medium before hand. Idk if that solved it or not

The repair may well have helped although it would be interesting to see if the graphics settings also played a part. If it happens again could you test trashing the Options.ini file before repairing? 🙂
